Nearly 2000 buried in landslide in Papua New Guinea

Officials in Papua New Guinea say over 2,000 people may have been buried alive in a landslide last week.

Nearly 700 people are feared dead.

The site of the landslide has been difficult to reach due to the terrain, remote location and tribal warfare.

Papua New Guinea in the southwestern Pacific, has a population of about 10.14 million people with traditional tribal villages, many with their own languages.
